Major peek,s Disappearance.

TheSan Francisco Examiner of yesterday
had the following concerning gentleman
well-knowr and highly esteemed in Sacra-
mento, where he resided for many years
Major Robert Beck, formerly Secretary of
the State Agricultural Society and prom
inent breeder of Jersey cattle and Secretary
Of the Cattle Association, disappeared sud
denly from his home, at 1921 Devisadero
street, on Thursday, December 23d and his
family have been unable to get any trace of
him since. His wife has appealed to the
police, but they have as yet furnished her
with no information of his Whereabouts.
She is in the greatest distress over his
strange disappearance, and Is tortured with
grave fears for his safety. Before his dis
appearance Major Beck had been acting
rather strangely, and Mrs. Beck thinks he
went away laboring under some temporary
alteration of mind The last seen OF him
was when he left the house about clock
in the afternoon to go to the butchers"
The Post of last evening says Major
Beck was in the employ of the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company, but recently left
his position. He is said to have been des-
pondent of late, and complained that he
was growing old and deaf. Since leaving
the employ of the railroad, as well as be-
fore, he mas dealt in Jersey cows, and at
the time of his disappearance had some
forty head at Johnstone's ranch, at Rich
mond. Major Beck's wife is sister of
Horace Hill, the broker, of this city. and
also Of Mcpherson Hill, of Sonoma coun-
tyn

IT was shown yesterday, in an interview
with the Secretary of the Northern and
Central California Immigration Associa-
ton, that the method Of inducing settle
ment in Southern California is to prepare
lands, in part, for occupancy before offering
them for sale That plan must be adopted
here 1t has had the test of experience in
the south, and it is fortified by reason.
We cannot expect homeseekers in large
numbers to come to us, buy and reclaim
land and wait some years for any income.
The colony system, however, provides for
the surveying Of lands, the placing of
water upon the tracts and the making of
water privileges a part of the title. 1t
provides for the laying out of roads, the
reservation of lots for schools and churches,
etc, and such preparation as will enable
the man of modest means to begin cult
walton at once. and to gather something
from the land the first or second years for
the support of his family. 1t assures the
homesee ker of the companionship and aid
of neighbors, and of the benefits Of society,
and opportunities to educate his children
and earn livelihood. Wherever capital
at the south has thus provided colonies
parties have almost instantly taken the
lands, and the capital has been returned
with good earnings more speedily than by
any other investment There is land
enough adjacent to Sacramento-cheapa and
of the best-available for half-dozen
large colonies. What is needed is local
organizations of capital, willing to lay out
from $4,000 to $4,000 to make places
partially ready for homeseekers. When
this is done, they will come, and so speed
lily as to surprise those who now believe
the only thing to do is to offer lands for
sale and abandon the newcomer to his
own resources. The Southern California
people have adopted the better method in
Dictated, and as a consequence have sue
ceeded.

WILL THEY CONDEMN HIM /!

Prior to the Anarchist riot and murders
at the Haymarket, in Chicago Powderly,
the Chief of the Order of Knights OF
Labor, said to the members that while he
respected the opinions of others, he would
vigorously object to allowing advocates OF
anarchism ito step to the front at meet
ings gotten up in the interests of labor"
until such time as the order adopted the
shotgun" policy. This man, whom it is
now proposed to pull down from his po-
sition because he forbids contributions by
the order to the Anarchist defense fund,
also said:
They must not be permitted to advocate
blood and fire and yet proclaim themselves to
be the mouthpiece of the labor class. 1t is my
firm and honest belief that vast as this country
is, broad and extensive as its territory there is
not room enough within its borders for the eX-
ercise of single rifle. | have no respect for
the man or men who will fiaunt that cursed red
nag and advocate the Use of the dirk and bullet
for 364 days in the year. and who on the 365th
day deliberately walk up to the polls and vote
for the continuance of the system which they
denounce.
II, now, the organization deposes the
man for such declarations and for living
up to them, the American people will
know precisely where to place the Order
of Knights of Labor. If the red flag ele-
ment is strong enough in this labor organ
ization to condemn for such utterance, the
action viii amount to affirmation of the
shotgun policy As result the knights
will go to pieces before the breath of pub
lie condemnation. If the intelligence Of
the workingmen of America in that order
is so warped by the infamous doctrines Of
anarchism as to permit such action, there
must be abandonment of what has been
supposed to be a truism, that from the
labor class the motive power of the Gov
eminent is recruited" 1t is not thinkable
that workingmen in a republic where the
guarantees Of liberty and the opportuni-
ties for advancement are greater than any
other form of society ever vouchsafed tc
man, viii stand by any such verdict We
prefer to believe that Powderly's utterance
was the true voice of labor, and that the
faction within the order Haunting the
bloody flag, represents only its miserable
self and the merest minority of wage
winners

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REPUBLICANS.

The Republicans in the Legislature can
do no more graceful act than to move the
necessary resolutions requesting the resto-
ration of General Stoneman to the retired
list of the army. The aged cavalry
leader is one of the few remaining heroes
of the war for the Union. Every one of
these men ought to be made evidences of
the gratitude of the nation to its defenders.
No matter if any of them have responded
for time to the call of the people and
filled civic station. That duty ended it
IS the least the Republic can do to restore
them to the list of retired officers. The
disposition of Congress is to do this. and if
the initial step is taken here we have no
doubt it will be done. General S;oneman
is in politics Democrat, as the nominee
of that party he defeated the Republican
candidate. 1t is now eminently fitting
that his political antagonists should
take the first step for his restoration to the
fast diminishing ranks Of the commanders
who served their country at her call in
the hour of her direst need.

Mrs. Eliza NJ. Dali, wife of Cornelius
Dali, was suddenly taken sick while walk

disease, with which she has been troubled

How Are You Building.

This is an important question, for
thereon hinges your destiny for time
and eternity. If you heed the scrip.
tural admOnitions and denunciations
you will set your face heavenward,
and like the coral, build upward
toward the light. AS that light in
creases more and more unto the per-
feet day, in like ratio your privileges
and responsibilities increase. Then
follow the dictates of an enlightened
conscience, become a master'builder,
whose foundation is Jesus the Christ,
seeking first his kingdom and his
Righteousness, and all things shall be
added unto you. Test all your works
by the golden rule. We see foolish
ness of building otherwise in the
CHASTITY ruins that hedge us in on
every side. A sandy sub-structure
imperils domestic, social, political, re-
ligious, in fact, all life. Then why
build thereon? The divorce cases be-
fore our courts, to say nothing of the
sin and misery cropping out of the
martial relation, speak volumes. The
unrest, the chickering's, the back-bit-
ings and the heartaches that enter in
to the social realm are as much a part
thereof as its pleasures. In the great
body politic-(excuse us, we know too
little, and besides, we are mot on the
witness stand, )-the man with the
"bar rel" generally ''gets there" In
our religious life behold that "holier
than thou" tender tot in Sunday
school, gather up her immaculate
skirts from fear of contamination by
contact with the coaser fabric of her
class-mate, and her sanctimonious
parent, worshiping in his upholstered
pew, while he gloats over an income
from numerous tenements rented for
unholy purposes. But enough. Let
US apply Paul's test: every mans
work shall be made manifest; for the
day shall declare it, because it
shall be revealed by fire; and the fire
shall try every mans work of what
sort it is. Ifany mans work abide
which he hath built thereupon, he
shall receive reward. If any mans
work shall be burned. he shall suffer
loss; but he himself shall be saved;
yet so as by fire" Ed.
